Re: Starting Truck After 15 Years

My son and I just got his truck on the road after it had sat for about 15 years.(Due to a bad set of points) We did all of the above to get it running, then did the following to get it road worthy.
New fuel tank (Old one was rusted through)
New fuel pump and rubber lines(Cleaned steel lines with carb cleaner and compressed air)
New power steering pump and hoses
New radiator and hoses
Replaced all brake components(master cyl., wheel cyl., hoses, shoes, etc.)
U-joints
Rebuilt carb.
Installed Pertronix conversion kit
Plugs, wires, cap, and rotor
And just for fun a 4" lift kit and some 33" tires
My son works at his Granpa's quick lube so he will be replacing the fluids next week. Good luck with your project.
